“As a coach in my first final, I can honestly say it will be hard to top what happened there.

“It was a real team effort for what can only be described as a real team.”

While the under-13s weren’t as lucky in the morning, conceding a goal in each half, coach Lynsey Hogg praised the performance and emphasised that it was the priority.

“I’m really proud,” she said. “The performance was obviously what we were focusing on, and it was more down to each individual, making sure they’re proud of themselves, because we work hard for games like this.

“Generally, I was really comfortable with my girls and the way they played. They got on the ball and were comfortable, played passes, and we didn’t really change the way we played, which was the focus.”

Lynsey added: “It’s a really decent wee squad and they’re just getting comfortable with each other, so we’ll just continue to do what we’re doing and we’ll get better each week.”

With crowds of over 150 for each final at Hamilton Palace Sports Grounds, and both finals sandwiching tournaments featuring their under-9s and under-11s, and meeting World Freestyle champion Indi Cowie, the club enjoyed a successful day, despite the younger side’s result.

Hamilton Accies Women return after the international break and go straight into Scottish Cup action, against a Hibs Development side.

Still hurting after a narrow defeat against the Edinburgh club’s first team, which confirmed bottom six football for Hamilton, the cup now becomes a priority for Kevin Murphy’s side.

The Hibs Development squad sit fifth in the First Division, and visit the John Cumming Stadium in Carluke to face an Accies side which will hope to repeat their success of two seasons ago in reaching the semi-finals.
